The University of Kansas baseball team has now won nine games and lost only two, right? And they just took two games out of three from defending league champion Iowa State this weekend, right? So they've got a win, right? At the Big Eight title, right?
Wrong. At least not yet. Not the way coach Floyd Temple sees it.
"We're not concerned about the championship yet," said Temple. "We've got six long weeks to go. Anything could happen but if our pitching team is it has, we could have a chance."
The Jayhawks play a three game series with Nebraska this season. The team's doubleheader is for the Friday and a single game for 1 p.m.
one Huskers, seventh in the conference last year, are also off to a slow start this season. Their loss in the Big Ten disaster as they dropped three
games to Oklahoma State. Overall, they were 3-8 as of Sunday.

Nevertheless, Temple does not view the upcoming series lightly.

they've got a better team and have a pretty good team. It (the series) won't be a breather. When you play in this league, none of them can beat another team. Can they beat another team?

Nebraska's strongest point is its depth. The Cornhuskers have 12 returning lettermen and six of them are pitchers.

Offensively, the Nebraska lineup is hardy a pitcher's nightmare. The 'Huskers' 213 average was last in the league last season. Shortstop Steve Scalia scored (9 runs), second baseman Sam Sharpe (277) and pitcher-outfielder Gens Schoal (317)

Corder and Cox are both 3-0.
Corder has pitched three shutouts this year, including a no-hitter.
He has given up no runs and only seven hits in 21 innings. Corder has pitched 20 and one-third
Siegelmeier (1-0) was unimpressive in his first two starts this season and was shifted to the bulpen. In two crucial relief situations against Iowa State, however, he helped the defense feed and earned a reward. His earned run average is 4.85.
un the possible exception of second baseman Bill Glass, there will be no changes in the game. Second baseman series. Glass was hit by a pitch on his throwing arm in the Iowa State doubleheader and his playing status is doubtful. Berceky could take his place.
Wolf (1-2) has two one-hiters this year but was treated roughly in Saturday's loss when Iowa lost to Kansas for six runs. His ERA is 3.71.

Another player that Temple is another player that Temple is also a rookie. Bob Wolf. The pitcher first baseman pounded in State pitchers for seven hits in 10 trips. Bobby Porter pitched four innings.
"He didn't get off to as fast a start last year," said Temple, "but the real big difference is that he is coming through when we need him. For that matter, you can look down our lineup and see that guys with two or three RBI's. Of them are through.
Temple said he would continue players in right field and at third base.
"But it's our felding that pleases and most Riggs. It makes the game so much important to me. If that keeps up, then the pitching it keep up. And if our pitching keeps up, then said, we could have a chance."

Strike Foreshadows Bleak Season

What happens every spring didn't happen Wednesday, and it won't happen today either.
And as Wednesday wore on,
Thursday's eight-game schedule
crumbled as well—along with
Philadelphia a game at St. Louis.
For the first time in baseball's
past history, a general strike by

of the season. forcing
the team to play at Cincinnati,
a traditional opener at Cincinnati.
No formal negotiating session were announced for Thursday, and he said his owners' representative, said he would meet with Marvin Miller, executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association.
Despite this meeting, however,
prospects for an early settlement

from the runoff.
If the strike lasts through the weekend, for example, an educated gymnast loses the loss to a league clubs at about $2.5 million.
For the average player, one earns about $22,500, the strike will cost about $140 a game in salary. And for the game's player, the wild star, Atlanta's Hank Aaron, is in a loss of about $129 a game.
"The fact that we can do it shows that we have depth, he said. "We've taken people loose. When everyone is out and about, it plays it clobber club morale high."
Vice president Paul Richards, who was vice president Tuesday, blasted Miles, saying the owners aren't against the players but are "fed up" with him.
"Unless the players take a stand now," Richardsa said, "there isn't going to be any baseball for a long, long time."
The owners, he said, "simply aren't going to let Marvin Miller run over them any more."
and the players, he said, should end the strike "for their own good. If they don't it's the players who are going to pay the price."
In Baltimore, meanwhile,
Miller met Wednesday with 18
Richards suggested the players should turn to Commissioner Dillon for assistance of the dispute. Kuhn returned from York from Germany after sitting in on the owners' meeting, but was unavailable for immediate contact.
KANSAS CITY (AP) - Ewing Kauffman, president of the Kansas City Royals, said Wednesday he thought the great majority of striking baseball players would like to go back to
Official Says Strike Unwanted
In an appearance before the Kansas City Advertising and Executive Club, Kauffman said that he will be the head of all professional sports.
"The public will lose by not having the opportunity to view baseball games, the owners will win and the players will lose money." Kauffman said.
members of the Orioles, then accused team manager Earl Weaver of trying to illegally break the strike.
Weaver had said earlier than he had polled his players and that all but five of the 26 had been killed. He opened and open the season on schedule.
Further, Weaver said, a poll by him showed that, of those 21 players, 16 had been willing to play in the game scheduled for last Saturday.
"There's a fine point in labor laws, and he's gone way overboard. His attempts to break the strike have been as a management—which has nothing to do with being a field manager.
Miller, following his meeting with the Oriole players at the suburban home of third baseman Brooks Robinson, said of
"Weaver is entitled to give his opinion and talk to the players." He exercises coercion and makes threats, direct and imply, that he's
"Actually," the vote of the third baseman said, "the vote was 16-4 that we would be willing to offer the builders our own rights. We owners would agree to accept figures of the activities on the amount of surplus already accumulated."
And Robinson, the Orioles' player representative, disputed Weaver's version of the pre-season poll.
"I think," said Aratos' pitcher Dave Roberts, "the owners are busy with their players. This guy has a baseball belt. Do you have a lot for the players, accomplished benefits they wouldn't have, otherwise we would."
After the meeting with Miller, Robinson said. "We are more unified now than ever before."
"I don't see any break in this thing," said Houston pitcher Larry Dierker, the club's player representative.
Among the players, measure the, was conducted speculation on the possible duration of the strike, the reason for the polarization of the two sides and would be played when the strike end.

Several Pittsburgh players worked out at the University of Pittsburgh Wednesday, but were not allowed to use the college's facilities.
That estimate was based on an average loss of revenue to each team of $50,000 per game plus an estimated $250,000 that would be the major league clubs' share of the division game at Boston Saturday.
Based on last year's annual postseason assignment of the schedule through the weekend, a total of 41 games, would mean a total loss of $16 million.
"I figure," said outfielder A. Oliver, "if 'we don't work out for a couple of weeks, spring training will have been wasted.'"
"Even after this thing is settled," he said. "I want to see my pitchers throw."

The dispute between the owners and players continued unabated after the owners, meeting in Chicago, termed the players demand for a 17 per cent fee to benefit 'tota-
unreasonable'.
After the five-hour meeting, John Gatherin, the owners' negotiating representative, said, "We want to accept the players' proposal. The whole matter of a 17 per cent raise in pension benefits is totally agreed."
The players had offered to return to work accepting the owners' original $490,000 boost
In light of the owners' rejection, it appeared they had thrown the ball back to Miller for the next move.

The German Olympic Organizing Committee has invited Owens to participate in the opening ceremonies at the 1984 Summer Olympics.

"But the 1500 meters still belongs to Kip Keino of Kenya," Owens said.

Now a Chicago businessman, Owens said the Olympics "is not a dual meet between Russia and the United States.
